In October, King Charles made the decision to officially evict his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, from Royal Lodge. As well as relinquishing all of his official royal titles, Andrew agreed to leave his mansion, following renewed concerns regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, one royal expert has suggested The King might end up regretting his decision to evict Andrew.

Writing for the Daily Mail, royal expert Richard Kay explained, "Aides had hoped that the summary action of The King in forcing his brother to quit the lavish property, as well as stripping him of his princely honorific and other titles, would cauterize what was fast becoming a royal crisis."
